There is a time when everyone gets to the point where they want to leave the show and I am not sure I’m going to do another series

The Only Way Is Essex babe Sam Faiers

Now starring in its fifth series, the blonde reckons she may leave the show that made her famous.

She says: “I’ve had an amazing time and I’ve really enjoyed myself.

“I’ve had lots of storylines and I’ve done really well, but I don’t want to be repeating myself over and over.

“There is a time when everyone gets to the point where they want to leave the show and I am not sure I’m going to do another series.

“I don’t want to be in it without any good storylines, and I’d like to give someone else a chance.”

Most recently in TOWIE, viewers have seen Sam reignite her romance with ex Joey Essex. And today she has got astounding news to share with us.

“I’m going to be married by the time I’m 25,” she beams.

Surely that’s jumping the gun with Joey a bit, Sam?

“I’ve seen a psychic and apparently I’ll be married by the time I’m 25,” she says. “That’s only four years.

“I asked if she had any idea who it would be and she just said: ‘You will know when it’s The One.’

“My mum thinks that I’m going to marry Joey. She says: ‘Think how lovely your children would be.’

“But marriage isn’t for me yet.”

Still, things seem to be going well between her and Joey, 21, after she spent the night at his flat in a recent episode.

She says: “Joey has massively grown up and it’s good. He’s a bit more serious. “He’s not so available, he’s a bit cooler about things. And all girls love that, don’t they? A bit of a chase.

“It’s really early days so I don’t know if we will have a relationship again.

“We both want to make sure that what happened last time doesn’t happen again. We rushed things before and lived in each other’s pockets. We’re just taking it step by step now.

“It’s so hard playing out a relationship on screen as it’s very intense. It’s not how a relationship should start out.

“So we’re just going to enjoy it for now and see what happens in the future.”

This fifth series of the ITV2 show has been marked by divisions in the cast – with both female and male cast members split- ting into rival groups.

Lauren Goodger, 25, and Jessica Wright, 26, have got the girls in two camps after they fought at the end of last series. And Lauren has even been axed from episodes this series by produc- ers fed up with her attitude.

Sam says: “I never took sides in what happened between Lauren and Jess, but Jess is my friend and I don’t owe anything to Lauren.

“I do still speak to her. Regardless of what’s happened in the past, we are still OK.

“But the show has got divisions. There is Chloe, Frankie, Georgina, the Laurens, then there is me, Billie, Gemma, Jess. Then there’s people in the middle like Lydia and Bobby.

“But in any friendship group, if there are 25 of you, that’s going to happen.

“All I know about the Lauren thing is that she had a row with producers, had a few to drink and was maybe a bit rude.”

Sam has also been at odds with Joey’s sister Frankie, 24, who was reported as saying she only wanted to be with club promoter Joey because his new flat had a swimming pool.

“It’s not like I live in a caravan,” laughs Sam. “I can understand she wants to protect her brother – when we broke up before, he was hurt and she doesn’t want him to go through that again.

“But he’s 21, he’s old enough to make his own decisions. If he wants to see me and take me out, that’s up to him, and Frankie shouldn’t have a problem.”
